A Solutions Architect needs to explain the programmability options of AOS-CX to a customer’s development team. The team wants to write applications that can react to network events in real time.
Which toolset allows a developer to write a script, install it on the switch itself, and have that script subscribe to state changes in the switch’s database to trigger automated actions?
- A . The SNMP agent and MIBs
- B . The on-box Python interpreter and AOS-CX Python SDK
- C . The legacy script-host feature
- D . The Aruba Central API gateway
What is the default multicast IP address used for sending OSPF hello packets?
- A . 224.0.0.1
- B . 224.0.0.2
- C . 224.0.0.3
- D . 224.0.0.4
- E . 224.0.0.5
A Network Operator is managing a large-scale, geographically distributed network of HPE Aruba Networking switches. The key requirement is to have a single, unified view for monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting from anywhere with an internet connection.
Which management tool set is specifically designed to meet this requirement?
- A . The individual HTTPS web interface on each switch.
- B . A script-based solution using the REST API and Python.
- C . Aruba Central, a cloud-based management platform.
- D . The Aruba CX Mobile App.
A Junior Network Engineer is explaining the function of ARP to a colleague. A host computer (192.168.1.10) needs to send a packet to another host (192.168.1.20) on the same local network.
What is the primary purpose of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) in this scenario?
- A . To determine the best Layer 3 path to the destination host.
- B . To resolve the IP address 192.168.1.20 to its corresponding MAC address.
- C . To assign a dynamic IP address to the source host.
- D . To translate the private IP address to a public IP address for internet access.
A Junior Network Engineer is comparing FTP and SFTP for managing switch configurations.
What are the key differences between FTP and SFTP? (Select all that apply.)
- A . FTP uses TCP, while SFTP uses UDP.
- B . SFTP encrypts the entire session, including usernames, passwords, and data.
- C . FTP is a more recent and secure protocol than SFTP.
- D . SFTP is an extension of FTP that adds a layer of SSL/TLS encryption.
- E . SFTP runs over an SSH session, while FTP runs as its own distinct protocol.

A Network Technician is troubleshooting a link between a switch and a server. The switch port is configured for 1000BASE-T, full-duplex. The server’s network card is older and only supports 100Mbps, half-duplex. The devices are set to auto-negotiate.
What is the most likely outcome of this duplex mismatch?
- A . The link will fail to come up, and no traffic will pass.
- B . The link will successfully negotiate to 100Mbps, full-duplex.
- C . The switch will operate at 1000Mbps, and the server will drop most packets.
- D . The link will operate at 100Mbps, but performance will be extremely poor due to collisions and errors.
A Network Technician needs to limit the number of devices that can connect to a specific switch port. The goal is to allow only the first two devices that connect to the port to gain access, and any subsequent devices should be blocked.
Which port security configuration would accomplish this?
- A . `port-security client-limit 2`
- B . `port-security mac-address sticky`
- C . `port-security violation shutdown`
- D . `port-security enable`
